[edit] individual associated with Lambeth
I can see why Kate Hoey is an "individual associated with Lambeth", but what about (just a random choice) Henry Tate, Jeremy Hardy, Roger Moore, and June Whitfield? There is not a single reference to Lambeth in any of those articles. <KF> 12:22, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)

- Their articles may not say Lambeth, but they do reference a part of Lambeth where they were born or lived: Tate, Hardy and Whitfield in Streatham; Moore in Stockwell and Streatham. Alan Davidson 09:02, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Politicians linked to LB Lambeth article
Why does someone keep linking Paul Boateng to Lambeth, when the biography article for him makes no mention of the borough. As I understand it, he made his name as a civil rights lawyer when based with a law centre based in the borough, but neither his political career nor his personal life have any links to the borough?
Diane Abbott has a better claim to a link, having worked as Lambeth's press officer.

- I've put more about Boateng's link to Lambeth in his article. His criticism of the Met was based on his experiences in Brixton, before and after the 1981 riot. Alan Davidson 20:53, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
And can someone - with better factual knowledge of 1980s Labour Party history than myself - write an article on Lambeth's former council leader Edward Knight aka "Red Ted" - the only Ted Knight currently on Wikipedia is an unrelated American.

- I've made a stub about him Philcrbk 08:11, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lambeth has the highest population density of the Inner London boroughs
I have also heard this claimed for Kensington & Chelsea and Islington. Needs verification. 86.0.203.120 17:57, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Postcodes: why?
I can't see why there needs to be a list of postcode for the eastern boundary, or, indeed, for any part of the borough. Should every entry that relates to a geographical area list the relevant postcodes? I think not. AJD 21:53, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- See Wikipedia:WikiProject London#Creation of articles - it's a standing to-do item. No, I wouldn't say this should be standard across all geographical areas, but London postcodes have a common usage which others don't have (a press article might refer to a new restaurant opening in SW4 - it would never refer to KT1 in the same way). (In fact, Lambeth is primarily an administrative area rather than a geographical one, and postcodes themselves have a better claim to be the latter term) 81.178.119.178 10:27, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] External Links
This is an article about the London Borough of Lambeth, not about the Labour Party in Lambeth. The link is inappropriate. AJD 21:36, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
